Auto to Stick Conversion

[animex]

Is it doable? Since my auto tranny is gone, I'm thinking to convert it to stick is possible. What procedure needs to be done?

ive seen it dont but youle be better off buying an old probly rotton or mot failer manual car for all the bits you need,
drive shafts
gearbox
flywheel
gear lincage and stick
clutch peddle and cable
even the carb is linked to the autobox by a cable.

Thing is bob K10's are rare as hens teeth in Canada and I bet most of the ones that were sold had normal, sorry I mean auto, boxes. I can't imagine there are that many stick boxes about.

But agreed, there are a lot of bits required to do the swap.

I miss my K10 (MA12 - hence my first username) auto

auto engine dont have a flywheel they have an torque converter,
what they have instead is about 5" thick hollow and full of oil flywheel.

MUCH less efficient than standard transmission... the torque converter consumes energy rather than manual where it's just a clutch plate that transfers energy straight from the engine to the wheels... but hey... i got a k10 ma12 stick-shift and i live in canada :slm: I'm the only one that i know of in my area though, so it's not a lot of fun :glare:

It depends, the torque converter on mine locks in 4th and 5th gear to transfer the bulk of power to the box.

I do drive a Vauxhall (GM - Izuzu engine)
